Jul 4, 2015 Consider it another case of the governing elite playing by a set of
rules different from the ones they impose on the rest of us, further
tearing asunder the uniquely American founding principle of “government
of, for and by the people.”

In an astounding act of hubris, in recent days the campaign manager
for Democratic presidential contender Hillary Clinton said that she
would not commit to releasing her health records at some point during
the 2016 election campaign.

During a Face the Nation episode, host John Dickerson noted
that she “had a big health scare when she was secretary of state” before
asking campaign manager Robby Mook, “Will she release her medical
records as part of this campaign?”

“I will let Hillary decide that,” Mook replied. “But I can tell you she has been hitting the campaign trail hard.”

Prior recent injury makes health questions relevant

Presidential health is an issue, obviously, and in Clinton’s case, the interest in hers is legitimate.

In 2012, she had to delay her Benghazi testimony before Congress
after she fell and suffered a concussion. Later, she was treated for a
blood clot in her brain, a condition that some experts said might have
become life-threatening. She later joked about her “cracked head” in
emails that the State Department has released recently, but her husband,
Bill Clinton, revealed in 2014 that her injuries “required six months
of very serious work to get over.”
